CARAVANNING WITH PETS
SO YOU’RE THINKING
OF TAKING YOUR
BIG DOG
WITH YOU ON
HOLIDAYS?
I’M NOT SURE ABOUT YOU, BUT WE WOULDN’T
DREAM OF OUR LEAVING OUR BOY BEHIND.
Our family is made up of two adults and a 50kg
Rhodesian Ridgeback named Bodhi. Wherever
we go, he goes too, and after camping in a tent for
many years, we upgraded to a caravan not long
after he joined our family as we thought it would
give us all more room, and looking back on our
tent set up, it certainly has been the best decision.
So an important consideration when travelling is
where your dog is going to be secured in the car.
For us, he was always going to be inside with us,
not only is there no room in the back of our 4WD
for a large dog, but because his happiness is just
as important as ours and we’d rather him not be
out in the elements so he enjoys in air conditioned
comfort inside with us. For safety, he is secured in
a Ruffwear ‘Front Range’ Harness, which enables
him to sit, stand and sleep in comfortably whilst
inside the vehicle…
